Healthy cooking often includes creative, intelligent, clever choices, tips and techniques. For example, if you replace sour cream in recipes with a non fat yogurt you will greatly reduce the fat content of a meal and at the same time retain taste as well as create unique new flavours! Also when you want to have a nice crisp green salad with your meal, instead of dousing it in a heavy cream dressing, why not drizzle some medium to hot fresh salsa over it instead. Not only are you saving money on a load of unnecessary fat grams, you are also adding spice which helps promote the metabolism and you are adding a healthy topping!

Healthy cooking then becomes a fun endeavor. You could experiment often trying to discover new ways to make great food taste even better with less fat and greater enjoyment! For an alternative fat free salad dressing, take out your french’s mustard bottle and mix it with soy sauce. This is a simple, fat free dressing or marinade! And it is extremely simple and inexpensive to make and create. You can
not ask for anything better!

While you do not have to get rid of all your cream sauces and fattening favourites, in the long run coking and eating healthier is the very best thing for you. It will make your workout routines much easier, it will keep you from having to keep purchasing new dress sizes; it will keep your heart rate and cholesterol levels at a safe healthy level. Thus, learning healthy cooking becomes a very important, instrumental part of everyone’s life. It is not just a fad anymore. It is a life and death preventative measure. For the same reasons we get regular oil changes for our cars, we must regularly provide our bodies the best foods possible. Otherwise, they will not last as long nor function half as well as they should.
